Love Child

Lyrics

[Intro: Betty LeBron] Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh [Pre-Chorus: Betty LeBron] You think that I don't feel love But what I feel for you is real love In others eyes, I see reflected A hurt, scorned, rejected [Chorus: Sweet Sensation] Love child, never meant to be Love child, born in poverty Love child, never meant to be Love child, take a look at me [Verse 1: Betty LeBron] I started my life in an old, cold, rundown tenement slum My father left, he never even married Mom I shared the guilt my mama knew So afraid that others knew I had no name [Pre-Chorus: Betty LeBron & Sweet Sensation] This love we're contemplating (Ah-ah) Is it worth the pain of waiting? (Ah-ah) We'll only end up hating The child we may be creating (Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh) [Chorus: Sweet Sensation] Love child, never meant to be Love child, society Love child, always second best Love child, different from the rest [Post-Chorus: Sweet Sensation & Betty LeBron] Woah, ooh-woah Ooh-ooh Woah, ooh-woah Oh, yeah [Verse 2: Betty LeBron] Started school in a worn, torn dress that somebody threw out I knew the way it felt to always live in doubt To be without the simple things So afraid my friends could see the guilt in me [Pre-Chorus: Betty LeBron & Sweet Sensation] Don't think that I don't need ya (Ah-ah) Don't think I don't want to please ya (Ah-ah) But no child of mine will be bearin' The name of shame I've been wearin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh) [Chorus: Sweet Sensation & Betty LeBron] Love child, never meant to be (Wait, wait, won't you wait now?) Love child, born in poverty (Hold on, just a little bit longer) Love child, never meant to be (Wait, wait, won't you wait now?) Love child, take a look at me, yeah (Hold on, just a little bit longer) [Guitar Solo: Sweet Sensation] Love child Love child [Interlude: Betty LeBron] Oh [Chorus: Sweet Sensation & Betty LeBron] Love child, never meant to be (Wait, wait, won't you wait now?) Love child, society (Hold on, just a little bit longer) Love child, never meant to be (Wait, wait, won't you wait now?) Love child, different from the rest (Hold on, just a little bit longer) Love child, never quite as good (Wait, wait, won't you wait now?) Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood (Hold on, just a little bit longer) But I'll always love you (Love child, wait, wait, won't you wait now?) I'll always love you (Hold on, just a little bit longer) [Bridge: Sweet Sensation & Betty LeBron] (Love child, wait, wait, won't you wait now?) You, yeah (Hold on, just a little bit longer) You (Love child, wait, wait, won't you wait now?) You (Hold on, just a little bit longer) [Chorus: Sweet Sensation & Betty LeBron] Love child, never quite as good (Wait, wait, won't you wait now?) Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood (Hold on, just a little bit longer) But I'll always love you (Love child, wait, wait, won't you wait now?) I'll always love you (Hold on, just a little bit longer)
